RIP Lee Iacocca

[JatoTheRipper]

I either was unaware or I forgot that Lee Iacocca was from a town, made famous by Billy Joel's song, near me called Allentown. Either way, Iacocca was an icon in the automotive industry and he'll certainly go down as a legend. He died at the age of 94 yesterday (July 2, 2019).

Rest in peace, Mr. Lee Iacocca.

oh wow...

he wasn't favored by a lot, but he contributed to the auto industry and shaped it to what it is today for sure.

Rest In Peace.

He saved Chrysler, but at the same time, gave us those awful, throw-away K-Cars.

On a side note... Muhlenberg College was one of the schools I applied to way back in the Stone Age. :lmao:

Damn, an iconic man of the 80's for sure. He pulled Chrysler out of the ashes, and gave us some amazing cars like the Viper. RIP Mr. Iacocca.

Dang, I was about to say he and Steve Jobs can suck it, but Lee did a bang up job on the Mustang in the 60's.
RIP Lee.
Steve can still suck it, I hate Apple and iProducts.

With your user name, I wouldn't have expected it from anyone else!

Yeah amazing what he did for Chrysler back in the day, but really in the long run it was just pissing in the pants to keep warm.


Still. RIP Lee.
